Last barricades are down

EDN Photo by Nick Todaro / Work crews cleared the last barricades standing in downtown Ennis on Friday, just a bit more than 10 months after they went up in the aftermath of the EF-1 tornado on May 17, 2013.

Ennis residents saw their downtown on Friday shed the last scraps of wood that stood sentry over damage caused by last May’s tornado.

Marty Nelson, Ennis Economic Development Director, said the final engineering assessments clearing the former Sports Connection property at 218 W. Ennis Ave. came in and City Manager Chuck Ewings jumped on the opportunity.
